Speaking at the press conference ahead of the match against England, Ivan Jovanovic said among other things that the blue and white team will not go for the draw and expects them to play the perfect game.
The national team faces England in the OAKA with the aim of a positive result to achieve the goal of first place in their group in the Nations League. Ivan Jovanovic said ahead of the match that the blue-and-whites will fight in a packed OAKA for the win, while stressing that they must once again play a big game to achieve their goal.
What Ivan Jovanovic said in detail at the press conference: That the English will be suspicious: “The truth is that to win in England we had to play a perfect game. If we want to win we have to play a perfect game again. England are a great team, the game might be more difficult. We have to show the same attitude as we did in the first game. Our performance must be very high to hope for a positive result“.
For the full stadium: “I said before the match at Wembley that the atmosphere will be fantastic, but it’s up to the players, it’s the same tomorrow. There will be many in the stands to help us, but on the pitch it will be eleven against eleven and they will decide the match“.
If it’s a weakness that England don’t have a regular manager and will feature a lot of new players: “They are a great team, they may have some absences but they certainly have a huge pool of players. They are an excellent team and can easily cover their absences and win many things with new faces. We have no right that England can be at a lower level regardless of absences they remain a very serious and strong opponent“.
As to whether the presence of the crowd is a testament to the effort of the National Team: “Certainly, it is positive for all of Greek football and it is a message that the world loves football. When we have such good results, when we have such an effort from the players, it is no surprise that OAKA was full.
It is the thirst and we want to keep the interest of the people in the next games, because we also have several young players. It works positively because the big teams that play in big games or in Europe can do it but they also showed their thirst for the national team and we want to thank them and keep them warm for the next games in Greece as well as abroad, we had a strong presence in England as well“.
Because he is comfortable with two results: “I want to be honest. People want to see a good performance from the team.
The 60 thousand did not come to see the draw, which can happen. But we also cannot enter a full stadium and look for a draw.
We’re going to need a big show. A draw can never be an initial goal. Neither I nor the players can accept a match where we will put a lot in our thinking to be good defensively and suffer. We will never go into such a game with such an opponent thinking about two results.
We have to play another perfect game to beat England. Maybe in other games some intervals of the game are enough but with England not“.
